You’d be hard pressed these days to find two bigger movie franchises thatStar Warsand the Marvel Cinematic Universe, both of which have been raking in massive box office receipts.Star Wars: The Force Awakenshas taken in a record-breaking $936.3 million domestically and $2.06 billion worldwide, while Marvel launched the first movie in their Phase 3 lineup last weekend,Captain America: Civil War, which earned a whopping $179.1 million in its debut. While both of these franchises have much in common, aside from the fact that they’re both housed at Disney, one Instagram user made quite the startling discovery.
Instagramuser Morphy_Me used his considerable Photoshop skills to take a photo ofCaptain America: Civil WarstarSebastian Stan, and by just changing his hair and costume, turned him into a young Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) from the original trilogy. Another Twitter user found the original Luke Skywalker image this photoshopped version is based on, and presented them both side-by-side. The resemblance is certainly uncanny, which may lead some to wonder about whether or notSebastian Stancould actually come aboard theStar Warsfranchise and play a youngLuke Skywalker.
Of course, as of now, Disney and LucasFilm haven’t confirmed any sort of Luke Skywalker spinoff movie, and, as far as we know, this iconic character won’t be featured in the first spinoff,Rogue One, or theHan Solomovie. TheHan Solospinoff will provide an origin story for the rogue smuggler, long before he’s introduced in the Mos Eisley Cantina inStar Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope. Still, with theStar Warsfranchise more popular than ever, the possibilities are certainly endless.
Back in November, a report surfaced that claimed Disney is planning on releasing a newStar Wars movieevery year, indefinitely, until fans stop buying tickets to these adventures in a galaxy far, far away. Given the $2 billion worldwide gross forStar Wars: The Force Awakens, the franchise is stronger than it’s ever been, so there doesn’t seem to be anything that would stop the studio from putting out a new movie each year.Rogue One: A Star Wars Storyhits theaters this December, followed byStar Wars: Episode VIIIon July 19, 2025,Han Solo: A Star Wars Storyon August 05, 2025,Star Wars: Episode IXin 2019 and a Boba Fett spinoff being planned for 2020.

There doesn’t seem to be any end in sight for the Marvel Cinematic Universe either, with the studio’s 10-movie Phase 3 lineup already set through the year 2019, withAvengers: Infinity War - Part IIarriving on August 20, 2025. The studio has also set three dates for unspecified movies on August 01, 2025, August 19, 2025 and August 21, 2025, but the studio hasn’t announced what movies will fill those slots. Take a look at these uncanny photos below, and let us know what you think aboutSebastian Stanbeing turned into a young Luke Skywalker.
